"P.S. I Love You" is the 15th episode of the eighth season of the CBS sitcom ''How I Met Your Mother'', and the 175th episode overall. ==Plot== Ted tells the gang that he found his destined love on the subway—they were both reading ''One Hundred Years of Solitude''—but lost her at the next stop. Ted hopes to find her again and indeed reunites with the woman, Jeanette, after a fire alarm at his Columbia building. He believes that it was destiny, but Marshall and Lily say Jeanette stalked him. Skeptical of Jeanette's intentions toward Ted, Marshall explains that you can't force destiny, but instead let it happen, and he describes Lily's seemingly random choice of picking his door to knock on in 1996 at Wesleyan University. He gets Ted to realise that it was unlikely Jeanette just happened to be at the fire alarm, and Jeanette describes pulling the fire alarm to force them to meet, because she "couldn't stand the idea of not meeting you". Charmed by the sentiment, Ted explains his theory that a romantic advance could be "Dobler or Dahmer"; an act is only charming if the recipient finds it charming, making it "Dobler" (a reference to Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything), but if the recipient is creeped out by it, it's "Dahmer". He is charmed by Jeanette, therefore, her pulling the fire alarm is charming. Marshall makes Ted realise that the fire alarm is actually a smoke detector, meaning to set it off, she would have to start a fire; Jeanette admits to this but still, Ted finds it charming. When he finds her copy of ''One Hundred Years of Solitude'', he learns that the book was bought within minutes after Ted bought his copy, Jeanette admits that she has been stalking him since he appeared on the cover of ''New York'' magazine in fall 2011. Even still, Ted finds her confession charming and the two start kissing passionately, as Future Ted tells his kids that Jeanette was the last mistake he made before he met his future wife. Marshall gets increasingly irritated that Ted has found Jeanette's behaviour attractive, and that their "destiny" was forced. Lily eventually admits that their chance encounter was not chance at all; she had seen him during the freshman orientation and, under the pretense of needing someone to fix her radio, knocked on all doors in Marshall's dorm building until she found him. Despite it being creepy, Marshall finds it charming and concedes to Ted. Robin admits to the gang that she was once a stalker. When she refuses to tell Barney with whom she was obsessed, he breaks into her apartment and reads her teenage journals. Puzzled by the cryptic phrase "PS I Love You", Barney flies to Robin's hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia to interview her ex-boyfriends. Robin's co-star on the "Sandcastles in the Sand" video, Simon, reveals to Barney that a MuchMusic documentary show about musicians' lives off the stage, ''Underneath The Tunes'', discussed Robin's career in an episode. Barney returns with a copy and shows it to Ted, Marshall, and Lily. Using interviews with many Canadian celebrities, the documentary depicts a picture of Robin's musical career different from that she described in Slap Bet. She originally described "Let's Go to the Mall" as a minor hit, and "Sandcastles in the Sand" as her artistic follow-up and a total flop, possibly to stop the group finding out more. However, the documentary reveals both were hits that "went Maple", but her musical career declined in the mid-1990s. Dissatisfied with the bubblegum pop-star persona that made her popular, Robin reinvented herself as a grunge singer named Robin Daggers. She made a music video of a song, "PS I Love You", that her record company refused to release. Robin's career ended after a disastrous 84th Grey Cup halftime show at which she revealed her new persona as soon as she appeared on stage. When the show speculates that Robin's occasional costar Alan Thicke is the subject of the song, Barney visits him and violently demands the truth; Thicke easily defeats Barney and denies that he was the song's subject. The badly bruised Barney returns to the others, claiming that he fought Thicke to a draw. The situation forces him to admit that it was easy to end up obsessed over romantic interests. Robin comforts him and reveals that the "PS" in the song was Paul Shaffer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「P.S. I Love You (How I Met Your Mother)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
